If you
took part in the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch recently you may have seen
starlings, blackbirds and pigeons in your garden but one Tangmere resident has
had a more exotic visitor.
Ivor
Harrison opened his curtains on Sunday (February 10) morning and found himself
face to beak with what appears to be a violet turaco. The violet turaco is
native to West Africa and lives on a fruit-based diet. There have been examples
of turacos being spotted living in the wild in Britain, most commonly the
white-cheeked turaco, after escaping from captivity.
